Help shape future health services

THE group which from next year will be running NHS services across mid Essex is seeking volunteers to join its Residents’ Panel.

The GP-led Mid Essex Clinical Commissioning Group (MECCG) will take over the role of NHS North Essex in April 2013 and wants to involve local people in shaping future health services.

Dr Lisa Harrod-Rothwell, Chairman of MECCG, said; “We are seeking volunteers of all ages and backgrounds with an interest in the NHS – people who want to do something meaningful to improve health services and make change happen.

“As a member of our Residents’ Panel, people will have opportunities to get involved at different levels according to what suits them and the time they have available. They might simply want to be sent information with the option to make comments on health service decisions in their early proposal stages, they may wish to take part in workshop sessions to help redesign local health services or they may decide to become a local agent to communicate health information and gather feedback from local communities. The choice is theirs.”
